When people ask me what really makes Midtown Optometry stand out, our punctuality always comes to mind. I have personally received great health care at a few different offices, but one thing that always bothers me is the 30 plus minute wait before I am able to see the doctor. I know that our patients are no different, and that your time is valuable. That is why we strive to have our eye doctors run on-time, even at the end of the day when most offices back up the most. We set aside time for each patient’s examination and questions. Staying on-time is one of the many ways that we respect our patients, providing comprehensive eye health evaluations which include prescribing glasses and contact lenses to treating macular degeneration or glaucoma.
